Replying to @UHawaiiNews
In July 1985, I was a member of @USMC A Co, 3rd Combat Engineer Bn, 3rd Mar - MCAS Kaneohe Bay which started the process of adding to the base camp at Kahoʻolawe. I recently rediscovered these photos of the construction. Last is a current photo from the web. 40+ years later.

Well I read Vance’s diatribe and with the history of President Trump regarding loyalty as my guide, I suspect he will be requested to resign or fired before year end. Look to see either Marco Rubio or Ron DeSantis as Vice President.

So, today we had a back and forth on the merits of the Apple watch and the app that provides aircraft data. And now I get this ad for a live display board which show the same information? Brilliant product idea and ad placement. 🤷‍♂️😂

To see the Enterprise like this, what was once the greatest achievement in US Navy ship building, being towed to the scrapyard is unnerving. Not a time in my life that it wasn’t there & 1st carrier I had seen up close. IDK. Some say her top speed is still classified. I hope so.

Oh boy, they must be seeing some order erosion to come out with this.
2,700+ C-130s produced. One competitor? Fewer than 20. Competitors can promise the future. The advantage belongs to those who can build, scale and deliver. 🇺🇸

Regarding the tragedy of the Aircraft that crashed yesterday in Florida. For a brief moment the proximity to the president gave me pause. Was it a targeted attack? Was it shot down? They were on alert. But thankfully this platform squashed the conspiracies before they could root.

If you believe this snake oil peddling moron Tucker that Israel is pressuring the United States and President Trump in any way shape or form to use a nuke on Iran, you’re an idiot and a fool. And beyond that a sucker. WTF!🤦‍♂️

Oh my.
FOOTAGE: A plane crashed in Greenacres, Florida, in Palm Beach County. Video from the scene shows fires burning, a crater in the roadway, and debris spread across a wet Street. The aircraft type and number of casualties are not yet known.

A recent gathering of KC-135’s. Curious why the rudders are all white? New? Or something else?

This popped up in my feed. Terrifying. Drones have devolved war back to WW1 trench warfare for the Grunts and the Combat Engineers to construct covered bunkers. The Pentagon better have its shit together to close hard and fast as combined forces, less they become drone fodder!🤬
A video from YouTube creator @GarandThumb1 highlights just how fast FPV drones can move and why they are so difficult to intercept. This is the threat IDF soldiers are dealing with in Lebanon on a daily basis.

What the heck happened to the Badgers yesterday? Shut out by Iowa again. So much for the ranking. 🤷‍♂️

The very beginning of this video jogged a memory of my Mom. She was a Milwaukee Braves fan and would tell me stories about their World Series Win, the joy of it, the devastation their leaving was. She is in this crowd in downtown MKE. She would be overjoyed today.

Venezuelan sports site this morning celebrating the Milwaukee Brewers winning the World Series. A lot has happened there from political to the devastating earthquake. I am happy that many found joy in their country men representing the very best in Baseball.
